Waste Audits for Schools and Businesses
Come talk trash with the West Michigan Environmental Action Council! Learn about performing a waste audits to measure your landfill and recycle streams for your classroom, cafeteria, or campus. Your students can take the lead on counting and inspecting their school’s waste infrastructure to form recommendations to improve access to recycling and sending less material to landfills.

This 2nd webinar of a 3-part workshop series will discuss what it will take to transform our economy from a “make-take-waste” model to a sustainable and waste-free society. We'd also love to hear from YOU about how you're reducing trash in your own classrooms and campuses to help your students reduce their schools landfill waste.

This workshop will be on Wednesday, March 1st from 4pm to 5pm via Zoom. The link to attend will be sent out after completing this registration form. For any questions please reach out to Kyle Hart at khart@wmeac.org
